Direct2Drive Says They Are Sales, Not Permanent


Direct to my Email Drive

I’ve gotten a bit of feedback on the fact that many of the sales listed on the sales page, those listed through Direct2Drive, have been there since June, putting them at four months on sale at least. A few asked me why I don’t remove them and just consider them permanent price cuts. Back in July I emailed Direct2Drive over whether or not the price cuts were permanent or temporary, and received this answer:

Hi Connor,

Prices can fluctuate depending on pricing offered by the developers and publishers. Some MMO’s are currently on sale and that would be a temporary discount. You can see those games at http://www.direct2drive.com/buy-mmo-pc-games-download The sale items are listed with the original price and the discount price in yellow.

Kind regards,

So this is why I still have the games listed. Until Direct2Drive lists them as such, they are a temporary price cut. Hopefully this calms some questions.
